Whats to be amazed about? Its a fantastic award winning game including 2 Golden Joysticks at the gaming awards. Critically acclaimed and one of the best games in recent years on any console it would surely be surprising if it wasn't still popular. Almost all games, particularly shooters lose their appeal after you have completed the 1 player mode. Like any great game with longevity however this never gets boring with multiplayer fun unlimited and updates too. Shame for you that you sold your Wii U I guess.

PS the Wii U is not languishing just because you prematurely sold yours.

Come on, who's paying you to disrespect the 2DS at every given chance? Own up :smile:

I never said the Wii U was bad, only that it is languishing i.e. it's in a bad place sales wise and third party support is virtually non-existent. You clearly have a chip on your shoulder concerning the Wii U and that's fine but there's no need to lash out when someone correctly says that the Wii U is not doing too well. I don't even think Nintendo executives would agree with you that it has 'more than reasonable sales' hence why it is going to be abandoned as a platform after just 4 years on the market.

For the record I did mostly enjoy my time with the Wii U but I hated the tablet controller and not many of the games interested me so that's why I sold it. Once again I am glad you like yours, my 'languishing' comment was not intended as an insult or slight on any Wii U owners.

I really want to play this game! Can't justify the cost of another console at the moment or else I'd defo be all over a Wii u.

Besides, I can't leave the house at the moment, I'm too embarrassed (looks sheepishly at her 2ds) :wink:

Great price, hot from me.
Looks like I've got a load of points to use as well.

2% Cashback @ Quidco too.

Good find, cracking fun, top bang:buck ratio :smiley:

Excellent price for this, I'm kind of amazed at how successful this game has been considering it's a multiplayer-centric game on a languishing Nintendo platform. if I hadn't sold my Wii U I'd be very tempted by this, heat added!

Is there a one player mode also, not just online multi-player?

So you don't consider 12 million sales over a period of more than 3 years languishing? It's nice that you enjoy yours but please be serious, the Wii U is one of the least popular games consoles of all time!

P.S. My amazement was not meant as an insult, just pleasantly surprised that Nintendo gambling on a new IP in a genre they haven't much experience in paid off for them. I may have sold my Wii U but I still love Nintendo and want to see them do well.

Cheers - have ordered for my lads 7th birthday.

Not at all do I consider it a failure. The 2DS is a failure and an embarrassment to own, thats simply a bad gaming unit by todays standards or 5 years ago standards even. The Wii U is an excellent machine with more than reasonable sales and game support for a family/kid friendly console. Oasis and many others never made it in America but does not mean they were not talented musically. Obviously a family friendly console can't compete with a generic shooter based console in the land that loves firearms. It does not make it a bad console my friend. Sales figures do not reflect quality. I think you will find McDonalds sell a gazillion generic burgers a day and outsell your local fine dining restaurant by someway. So that a console that sells generic shooters by the gazillions, outsells a fine gaming console by someway, is what it is really.

If your base your gaming decision solely on sales figures thats fine, your choice. But for all us content Wii U players who don't choose to follow the masses into the generic mainstream shooter based gaming, we will just plod on all the same thanks.
